Don't Bother - Dr Buchan Doesn't

My former PCP retired and I began seeing Buchan since the practice is internal medicine and cardiology. Thought a good idea since I am elderly. Forget it. He is cold and has a very bland personality. Staff is no better. Medically he is just OK. After 4 years he still doesn't know me and I don't think would know me passing him in the hall. Night and day difference from my old doctor! His nurse is also about as rude as they come. I finally had enough early this year and switched to a new very good doctor. She knows how to diagnose!!

Dr. Buchan and Woods Associates are Top Notch

I found Dr. Buchan and his staff to be friendly, caring and competent. Saved my life actually. I had serious problems with no symptoms and his testing found and I got it fixed before it could hurt me. He has top notch cardiologist associates that worked well together as a team. I am alive and happy.

Easy to get an appointment.

The Doctor was quick and did not do an exam in the office. He did have office staff who did BP and Blood Draws.
The Doctor was more intent and took time to examine me during my hospital stay.
He seems to know his medicine but is not like the doctors I saw years ago who were concerned about you and asked about your family and life. The younger doctors seem to distance themselves from their patents.

Don't go here!

One time I made a list of things I wanted to ask him about. He took the list and answered two questions. Then he put the list on the counter, walked out and didnt come back. His personality was absent. Another time I asked a staff person for a copy of my lab report. They said their copy machine was broke. I said I would take it to the main desk to get it copied. They said no. I think the staff was the rudest I've encountered.

He was uncaring and unrelatable. We switched doctors mid treatment because he isIimpossible to communicate too.and his lack of concern compassion and overal emotion he often seemed spacey like he wasn't even there and it made him to have a very dislikable personality.

Good DR. just don't have anything wrong that requires some extra thought. Quick to give you pills and then more pills if those don't work. Had a very hard time getting him to listen to me. Got tired of helping him to diagnose my problem. Staff was terrible, asked for my records to be forwarded over 3 months ago.Still waiting and will have to go in to get them myself.
